#7
Terriers begin a critical home-and-home series against #11 UMass Lowell tonight
at Agganis
Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. and the first 2,500 fans will receive a
Matt Gilroy mini-bobblehead, the second in a series recognizing BU’s Hobey
Baker Award winners.
At
stake is home ice in the second round of Hockey East playoffs. BU is currently
in fifth place, three points behind Lowell, but with two games in hand. The
teams last met in the Hockey East championship game last March, won by the
Terriers, 5-3 (video).
As
always, the River Hawks are a defensively stingy team. Goalie Kevin Boyle is sporting
a 1.73 goals against average. Sophomore forward CJ Smith tops Lowell’s scorers
with 13 goals and 30 points; however the team’s #2 scorer, Adam Chapie (27
pts.) will miss tonight’s contest due to a one-game suspension.

While three future Terriers will be in action at the Youth Olympics in Lilliehammer, Norway, Team USA looks back at the first Youth Olympic games in 2012 when Jack Eichel tied for the scoring lead for the U.S.
This Date in BU Hockey
1973:
Boston University defeated Boston College, 4-1, in the Beanpot Championship
game to tie the Eagles for the most titles with eight, and to become the first
team to win four straight. The Terriers opened the scoring on a power play goal
by Vic Stanfield at 14:53 of the first, the only goal of the period. Midway through the second period, BU scored twice less than 2 minutes apart when All-American
Steve Dolloff (photo) scored at 10:13 and Ken Kuzyk scored at 11:54. The Eagles made it
3-1 just 25 seconds later when Mike Powers scored, but that was the only goal
BU goalie Ed Walsh would allow. In the third, Dolloff scored his second of the
game at 4:12 of the period to give BU a 4-1 lead that would hold up the rest of
the way.
